Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Mikey, nice rant. I really like that people STILL are ignorant of his abilities. I wish the top managers in Europe were equally as ignorant.

It's going to be a big year for Morgan and with a World Cup around the corner, expect a lot of French pressure on him to move. If we don't really progress to expected levels, I think we could lose him next summer.

 

Have to admit that I don't follow other team's players that closely...unless they score against us!! But I bet other managers know about Morgan.

This is a nice touch. I used to like our Super Mac. Loved the time with in and Phil Boyer up front (at least I think they played there together)

 

Oh, I see. Thanks. I wasn't sure how I should interpret that. Though I should probably change my sig.

Anyhow, anyone got any exciting plans this weekend?

 

Yes saw that FLT saw them play as a double act for Bournemouth in 71. Awesome! Boyer was a very underrated player.

New Saint Wanyama with boss Mauricio Pochettino

Southampton FC/Twitter​

NEVER realised I was so popular – okay, unpopular – in Southampton.​

​

​

On the back of last week’s column I received a staggering 107 emails from Saints fans who were raging I’d described Victor Wanyama’s new employer as a yo-yo club.
They were almost as angry as Elizabeth-Anne Callaghan, a Celtic supporter, who seemed a bit miffed by my suggestion that Wanyama’s £12million transfer was only the second best bit of business in Scottish football after Davie Cooper’s 50 grand move to Motherwell in 1989.
A bit miffed? Ooyah! Good luck to Lizzie’s man if he ever returns home one Friday with a burst pay-poke. Anyway, I now realise I got it wrong, folks.
Wanyama’s move to Southampton was NOT the second-best deal after Coop’s switch to Fir Park.
Nah, he’s actually only THIRD on the list as I’d forgotten about World Cup winner Claudio Cannigia – a freebie at Dundee – moving to Rangers for £1m. Thanks to Ray Anderson for that nomination.

 

We've suffered with you, Pomps. We'll have a party when you find that special one. Exciting plans...Test Match on, need I say more.

 

Hmm, he didn't revisit his other mistake of calling Saints a Yo-Yo club. 27 straight years in the top flight and 8 before that is hardly Yo-Yo'ing it. Here's to another even more extended stay.

 

Test Match and Open Golf!

 

Some surprising players didn't make the cut in The Open.

 

Yes Rory seems to be having real problems. Maybe it's a case of too much too soon!

 

Suppose Rose was just a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's Show.'

 

Taylor Swift's "biggest fan contest" has been cancelled after a 39-year old man won. Ha.

 

Betting's been suspended on Luis Enrique to be next Barca boss, as I was making the bet. Damn.

 

maybe, but not in gold terms.... too much tennis ace me thinks.

 

how old is dan again?

 

Dan is 14 again.

 

Twenty twooooooooo.

 

Come on TSS, there are two Taylor Swift songs with an age in the title and GBS has nailed one of them. I'd hope you'd know more of Taylor Swift's incredible backlog

At any rate, my profile clearly says I'm 11.

 

I'm quite sure she has an incredible backlog. I'll leave her songs to when I'm a little more mature. I'm still working on XTC.
